🧵A shortage of pilots There’s a shortages of pilots, to train a pilot it takes 5+ years. To address the shortages a new role is created, pilot assistant (PA). They go through 2 years of training to equip them to assist pilots. The key here is the training is superficial.

You seemed to have ignored that a doctor has to 1) sit professional exams at their own cost to progress 2) relocate from city to city at a huge cost to them and their families 3) work anti-social hours, which again can come at a cost e.g. arranging childcare for on-call

The training isn’t thorough but enough to assist pilots. The PA role was never designed to replace pilots. It turns out a few years later that PAs starting salary is more than a 1st year pilot. The 1st year pilot has more responsibilities and takes on more risks.

The reasoning provided for making such a decision is absurd. Lack of resources and funding is an unacceptable justification. 2/2

or why aren't nurses regulated by the GMC? The regulator matters & having PAs fall under the GMC's regulatory powers opens the door to further confusion for patients & gives further opportunities to mislead the public. Allowing for more scope creep - 'doctors on the cheap'

The PA in question didn’t know what a physician associate was three years ago, yet expected a patient to be clued up from her introduction. There are genuine concerns these should not get lost in the #BeKind debate

This is the direction NHS healthcare is heading towards. We will have a 'portfolio pathway' for PAs who will be admitted to a Specialist Register. It won't be long till we'll have a debate on whether PAs can parade around calling themselves Consultant

The government has the monetary resources to RESTORE doctors' pay but chooses NOT to, in order to make a political point We've seen how much the trusts have spent covering strikes The government can continue negotiating but chooses not to, so they can make a political point.

If you’re panicking about junior ‘baby’ doctors walking out, and going on strike for 72 hours, then clearly an FY1 is worth more than £14 an hour. #BMADoctorsVoteYes #PayRestoration

In the UK, we’ve normalised paying people who are incompetent and bad decision-makers more money than highly skilled and competent individuals. Resulting in an incompetent government led by an incompetent Prime Minister who then appoints a Health Secretary who has no clue about

Junior Doctors continue their strike today. That means more disruption for patients and staff. My message remains the same. Call off the strikes and come back to the table. Let’s start 2024 right.

One of many reasons why the GMC should not be the regulator for Physician Associates. Those that seek to play fake doctor will use their registration with the GMC to mislead patients.

The continuous blurring of boundaries is taking us to a point where we are just experimenting an alternative approach of medicine on patients, this will needlessly be at the expense of patient safety.

Your sacrifices led to a reward, but they also enabled the government to continue creating a horrible environment for junior doctors of this generation to train in. Additionally, there are consultants who continue to pull up the ladder.

I started responding to junior doctors to encourage them that sacrifices now would be worth it long term. I’ve given up on that as all they do on here is constantly wallow in self pity. And abuse anyone who questions their views or antics.

This is untrue. We set no preconditions unlike you. These were the additional preconditions you wanted us to sign along with the others you set to get in that room. Weird that you would blatantly misrepresent the truth like that Who do people trust? Politicians or Doctors?

Once regulations are in place, why stop at endoscopies, why don't we train PAs to do surgical procedures like open heart surgeries or total knee replacements? Why do we need doctors who go through years of PGME, professional exams...? Save money wherever possible
